The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (Phang Nga Office) reported that on October 22 2025, continuous heavy rainfall hit Ban Bang Ha On in Khuk Khak subdistrict, Takua Pa district, Phang Nga province, triggering flash floods from the Khao Lak mountain range.

The sudden deluge inundated Khao Lak Centre, a popular shopping and leisure area, just as hundreds of Thai and foreign tourists were dining and shopping. Panic ensued as people rushed to safety.

Floodwaters, carrying red mud, overflowed from nearby canals and surged through the heart of Khao Lak's tourist zone for more than 800 metres, reaching one metre deep in some places. The strong current stalled several small cars and motorbikes, while Phetkasem Road became impassable on both sides, causing traffic jams over a kilometre long.

A waterspout outbreak over the Great Lakes is forecast to continue through Friday, and we've already seen some amazing funnels develop.

A rare "sextuplet" waterspout formation - six funnels snaking between the clouds and the water's surface - was spotted on Lake Erie on Tuesday off Long Point, Ontario in Canada, according to the Toronto-based International Centre for Waterspout Research.

You can see the video of the rare sextuplet waterspout at the link here.

The six sister spouts were among at least 8 waterspouts spotted on Lake Erie on Tuesday, the research agency said. In our current outbreak, nearly all of our Great Lakes could see these whirling funnels of air and mist develop. The current forecast shows they are more likely to spin up over Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
